FUT Hair Transplant is the most common method of modern surgical hair restoration. Here’s everything you need to know about it!

The Procedure of FUT Hair Transplant

In the process of FUT, the surgeon will first cut a strip in the back or side of the head. The surgeon will then extract the individual hair follicles and insert them into the balding parts of the scalp.

This procedure works best for those who suffer from male pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia) and need help covering a receding hairline. This is commonly noted by hair loss along the temples or an M-shaped pattern along the hairline.

There are many people who are good candidates for FUT hair transplant. Of course, without speaking to an expert on hair transplantation, you may not know if the procedure is right for you.

When looking for hair transplant options in New York and Ohio, John Frank MD is your trusted professional. When deciding if this procedure is the right choice for you,  You may be a good candidate depending on things like age, hair thickness, and hair color.

Good Candidates for FUT

Along with those who suffer from male pattern baldness, FUT is a good solution for those over the age of 25. This is because hair loss patterns aren’t as predictable as those under this age. Unfortunately, hair loss can begin at just 21 years old for some men, making this surgery inapplicable to those men.

Other good candidates for FIT hair transplant are those with a high hair follicle density, as it allows for less noticeable transplants. If your hair color is similar to your skin color, this will also allow for a less noticeable transplant.
